Baby Cabinet.

2012-02-13T10:13:00.002+08:00

Finally, last weekend I bought our Baby Cabinet. Now all the baby things are properly arrange in the drawers but in 2 months time I have to take it all out again to be washed before baby arrive. It seems a long way to go but I guess time really flies fast.

Our Baby Cabinet :))

What's in the drawer?? :P

6 months :)

2012-02-09T16:02:00.005+08:00

I'm officially 6 months pregnant which means I'm currently in my 24th weeks :) Can't believe there's another 16 weeks to go which is 3 months !! Scary but Exciting !!

I'm going to buy this bottle as I was told that the unique shape of the closer to nature easy-vent teat encourages your baby's natural feeding action so that switching between breast and bottle becomes second nature. It's a bit expensive but I guess its a good investment.

and I really hope that it'll get approved. I am in desperately in need of it :) Only God knows why....

Year of The Water Dragon !!

2012-01-27T10:33:00.003+08:00

Hello Everyone !! How's everyone's Chinese New Year celebration ?? Mine was awesome even thou tiring. I slept the whole day on the 3rd day of CNY and was thankful that I was on leave. I was surprise I received a lot of ang pau's for my Water Dragon Baby. I feel blessed !! Bank it in yesterday to my personal account which will be used as my baby's temporarily account. Thank you to everyone who have given our baby ang pau's :))

By the way, we went for 3D scan yesterday just to take a peek how does our baby look like. Since our baby is in the wrong position to know the gender the doctor did mentioned that its "definitely a girl" because if its a boy you can see the "Balls & Sausage" early he he he. But the doctor keep on saying its "definitely a girl" But we will reconfirm with my gynae in my next visit :)) Hubby seems surprise because he expected our baby to be a boy but he says for a first child and since we've waited so long to conceived he doesn't care what's the gender as long the baby is healthy :D

According to my Papa, our Baby looks like me ha ha ha and the nose is quite "Mancung" and my brother said "Eh, ada piuk ohhh" Ok !! I'm excited when it comes to 3D scan because I can see a clearer image of our baby :) I'm so excited !! I even hear the heartbeat...4 more months to go !! I can't wait to hold our baby in my arms...

Friday The 20th :D

2012-01-20T10:21:00.001+08:00

It's Friday !! I'm grateful because we received our yearly BONUS yesterday :) Shared some with Mummy because she's not working anymore and she was surprise that she received her first ang pau from her only Daughter he he he. After 8 years of working, finally I know what to do with my BONUS. Normally I'll spend it with shopping but now I've changed. Shopping is NOT in my"To do list" anymore. Maybe as years goes by, things change....I definitely change....maybe the fact that I'm growing older...oh well, change is good :D

Today is our Company Annual Lunch. I can't wait because after 8 years we finally change the Venue. Instead of Kg. Nelayan, we're going to Masakan Sedap :D I'm such a happy little lady right now :)

And also, I'll be going for my monthly review today so hoping the doctor will be able to tell me what's the Gender of our Baby :) Crossing Fingers !!

17 Weeks !!

2011-12-24T09:21:00.003+08:00

Can you see the baby?? He he, Well it's growing so I guess it's kind of hard to see it now ha ha ha ha. By the way, can't see the sex of the baby yet :) Oh well, better luck next month !

I've gained 2.5kg in 4 weeks. Wow, I hope its from the baby's weight and not mine ha ha ha. The doctor said our baby is fine and healthy. Hubby says "Panjang juga kaki dia?" Ha ha ha ha..Maybe follow genes from Grandpapa Alfwold :P I am happy to see our baby before Christmas. Baby was kicking hard last night. Yes, I can feel the baby movement already and it's a wonderful experience.

Today, is Christmas Eve and I'm going for my last minute shopping after work. Hopefully it wont be too jam today :)

Have a Blessed Christmas Eve everyone !!

3 Days More :))

2011-12-22T10:55:00.004+08:00

It's 3 days to Christmas and our Christmas program starts tomorrow night. I also have my doctor's appointment tomorrow at 6pm. Yes, it's determining the sex of the baby but according to the doctor 'if only'' the baby is at the right position :) So, I'm hoping its in the perfect position. I can't wait to start shopping ha ha ha.

By the way, my prayers came true ! Hubby is not working on 24th & 25th *wink wink* He asked to be not on duty on that day and his boss approve :)) Thank you Boss !! I'm so happy !!

Oh, so how's everyone's preparation for Christmas ? Ours is very much the same every year. Bought ourselves Christmas attire, bought presents for the Faurillo Kids and booked a month early for Christmas Eve Dinner. The only different is there's not going to be exchange gift among us family. It has been 2 year now and we're okay with it :) Last year its because my brother was not working and this year its because my mum is no more working. Still we decorated the tree so beautifully :D What's important is we celebrate Christmas together ! And also this year my brother's girlfriend will be joining us for our Christmas Eve Dinner :)) Another addition to our family.....*Smiles*

This was taken 2 years ago :) Will be taking a new one during Christmas Eve !

Christmas Shopping..

2011-12-12T11:47:00.003+08:00

That's me with my small 4 months bump with my 5" tall Christmas Tree :P

I seriously don't look pregnant ha ha ha which is a good thing because I still look slim and slender :D By the way, did everyone finish shopping for Christmas. We had just finish shopping for all our nieces and nephews in Hubby side. Next is to buy for the Santa Secret gift. Phew, seriously shopping is tiring when you're pregnant. It is so not fun but my Christmas spirit is high as the mountains so I don't mind walking around for hours. It's exercise for myself too :)

After shopping in 1B yesterday, we went straight home and straight away went to bed and sleep untill 7pm. We wanted to watch "Breaking Dawn Part 1" at 9pm in Megalong Cineplex. Even thou the movie wasn't that interesting but I cannot wait for the 2nd part. I just want to know what happen next after having the baby :)

Till then...

18 days till Christmas

2011-12-07T10:38:00.006+08:00

Going to fix my car doors this weekend. Yup, I was suppose to do it last weekend but I got caught up with shopping. Seriously, it's been almost a year my door haven't been fixed. Firstly because I don't carry passengers and secondly I was just too lazy to wait in the shop for them to fixed it. Since I'm being very the 'rajin rajin' this month I make it an effort to fix the door before Christmas :D

So, how's everyone's Christmas preparation? Well, I can only do mine during the weekends because that's the only time hubby is around. So, I need to wait for him :) Bought our Christmas attire last weekend. We choose something simple and casual. As everyone knows me, I love red so yup, I bought a red blouse match with pink leggings :P I hope I don't look awkward ha ha ha....

p/s it's exactly 18 days till Christmas :)) Aren't you excited??

Finally......

2011-12-03T09:58:00.004+08:00

....it's December!! Goodbye November & Welcome December.....

I've fixed up the Christmas Tree and I can't wait to celebrate Christmas with my family. Our Christmas Eve Dinner is a tradition since I was a little girl and I'm proud that I've kept this tradition alive every year. I'll remind papa and mama about it a month before December and I'll do the booking early because I'm afraid that we'll not get a table. I remembered I call a week before Christmas and the receptionist told me its fully booked and I had to find another place which cost more expensive than the place we normally dine. So, I learned my lesson to book early. And yes, I did the booking yesterday :p

Next on my list is to shop for a new dress. The one's I've never used before which I suppose to wear this Christmas is now a bit tight for me. I don't really have a big bump yet but I've outgrown all of my beautiful dresses. So, that's a good reason to shop for something new :P

So, how's everyone preparation for Christmas?

Remember, friends come and go but family always stick together.......

" Nah, your baby very active. Kuat goyang2 ha ha ha "

Yup, that's the exact words the Doctor told us during my monthly review. The Doctor said everything is fine, the baby is developing normally and healthily. My BP is normal, so is my blood sugar level. But I lost weight. Before I got pregnant I was 51.5KG but now I'm 50KG. Wow, I've lost 1.5KG ! Thanks to Morning Sickness. Now that my Morning Sickness is gone, I'll be gaining weight slowly.

If we're lucky, we'll be able to know the gender by Christmas :D *Crossing Fingers*

Christmas Is Just Around The Corner :)

2011-11-23T11:26:00.004+08:00

Yuhuuuu!! It's almost December. I'm so excited :D

Christmas Christmas Christmas !!

As usual on Christmas Eve, we'll be having our Family Dinner which is already a tradition since I was a little girl and I'm proud of myself for keeping this tradition, reminding my papa about it a month before. He asked me if this tradition ever stop and I told him that I'll keep this tradition as long I'm still in this world with them.

My mum and my aunty's are going to set up a booth at Christmas Gaya Street this year and I'll be baking cupcakes (requested by my mum) I might be going there helping too but depending on my condition ha ha.

You can't see the baby clearly but there's a head, legs, hands and bumbum ha ha :) And if you noticed there's another small sac beside the big sac.

I'm grateful and thankful that one survive and growing healthily inside me. What's important is my baby is healthy :) I'm really am excited!!

9 weeks!!

2011-10-28T14:44:00.004+08:00

Been having headache since yesterday. I thought I will wake up feeling fresh but no, its the other way around. My headache remains the same as yesterday and even so I don't feel like going to work, I still force myself to wake up and get my ass to work. Now, all I do is sit, take a nap, go to the toilet either urinating or vomiting and I look dehydrated. Yes, sickness came horribly this week. I still get to eat normally but end up vomiting it out which leads to unhealthy skin, looking pale and feeling exhausted. I'm in week 9 with no baby bump yet but bigger boobs :P I keep on telling myself I can get through this 1st trimester but at the same time I wish time would past by quickly because I really can't take the vomiting and headache part. I can't just be on leave every time I feel sick, right? Some people say I lose weight and I guess they are right :(

So, today is my first official visit to the gynae (which is the monthly review) I hope everything will be fine and my baby is developing and growing. I read in babycenter.com that my baby is now the size of a grape. Well, imagine that!

Today as well is my baby sister in law's birthday Julie Anne Faurillo :)) She turned sweet 16 today. Wishing her a blessed and joyous birthday!!

Heartbeat....

2011-10-12T13:58:00.003+08:00

Morning Sickness, Tiredness, No appetite, Nausea, Vomiting....I have it all !! Last Sunday, I spotted some pink blood when I whipped myself and had a panicked moment. I went to the doctor the next day. When the doctor told me that my baby heart beat is weak, it brought me tears. I was afraid and nervous at the same time but I keep my faith strong. I was prescribed Dusphaton to make my baby strong. I have another Ultrasound next week and I am hoping my baby's heartbeat is stronger by then. I really hope this pregnancy stays because I've been waiting for this moment for 2 years. Please don't take it away from me........

I'm currently 7 weeks 2 days and am doing fine. I pray every night for a healthy pregnancy & asked god to make my baby heartbeat stronger....

Our Little Miracle :))

2011-10-08T09:21:00.004+08:00

On the 30th September 2011, I went to the Doctor for some Medical Check-Up about my Abdominal Pain that has been on and off hurting me. During the ultra scan, the Doctor found out I have a Cyst (2.3cm) which is not dangerous. So, I asked whether is that the caused of the mild cramps I have and he said 'No, its not' but when he was scanning my womb he suddenly wanted to do Urine Test. I was shocked because I did a Urine test the week before that week and it was a BFN "Big Fat Negative"

As I was waited outside, the Doctor called me again and as I seated he told me "Congratulation, you're pregnant!" I was in shocked. He say every 2 days HCG level increase and the mild cramps / abdominal pain that I've experience is called "Implantation" He asked me to come back after 7 days to confirm my pregnancy because he can't see anything yet in my belly. So, you can say I was nervous and anxious at the same time and the waiting is killing me. So, I bought a pregnancy test just to make sure the nurse didn't wrongly test the urine in the toilet because there were a few bottles with urine as well in the toilet.

BFP (Yes, its a Big Fat Positive!!) It appeared within seconds and I cried like a baby seeing it.

I suddenly started to have morning sickness that Tuesday. I had a lot of gastric because my appetite suddenly decrease which is so hard for me because my gastric was really horrible.

So, yesterday (7th September 2011) I finally saw the embryo. It was small but its there. I was in tears because I was so happy. I called up my husband and he was excited too. Called my mum and dad and they are overjoyed.

I am currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It's about 1 1/2 months. In 3 weeks time, I have another appointment which will let me see my baby and hear my little miracles heartbeat.

I thanked God and all my family for their prayers and support this past 2 years. I can't wait for our little miracle to see all of you. My due date is on 28th May 2012 :))

No Certain Title :))

2011-10-05T11:11:00.005+08:00

I've been having abdominal pain which scared the hell out of me. So, I went to the doctor for some test and they did an ultrasound. He then told me I have a cyst the size of 2.3cm but it is not dangerous. It looks dangerous to me though. Woman who have PCOS will always have irregular period and ovarian cyst and that makes us hard to know when do we ovulate and it makes it more hard for us to conceive. I have another review this coming Friday because I also found out something shocking during the test. I am super nervous plus excited at the same time. I keep myself calm and think positive everyday. Only God knows how I really feel at the moment.

AND, recently my sister in law gave birth to a baby girl name Arielle Mikayla Faurillo weight about 3.2kg. She kinda looks like both of the parents so its hard to tell who does she really looks like at the moment.

I and Baby Arielle :))

MP3 Player or ipod

2011-08-11T14:40:00.003+08:00

I've been jogging for 1 month and 2 weeks now and yet, I haven't got myself a MP3 or iPod player. No wonder, I'm so damn bored when I go for a jog. All I hear is people talking loudly like they own the Jogging Park, my own ugly breathing and lots of sounds which I can't describe. Believe me, you need a MP3 player when you jog / run / working out. At least, I've heard that it will not make you easily tired or easily bored. So, I did some browsing at www.lelong.com.my and I found a Mini Clip MP3 Player for only RM28 + RM8. It's quite cheap :)

Should I get it??!! Or maybe I should go to the nearest Technology Shop to browse more Options? Ermm...

My Wellness & Health Evaluation

2011-08-05T19:41:00.005+08:00

Date: 5th August 2011

Weight: 50.4KG

Body Fats: 26.3% (Normal) (should be 22%)

Water: 53.9%

Muscle Mass: 35.1KG

Physique Rating: 5 (Standard)

BMR: 1119 (should be 1210)

Biological Age: 22

Bone Mass: 2.1KG (should be 2.4KG)
Organ Fats: 3 (Low)

As you can see my weight decreases 0.5KG and my body fats decreases only 1% since the last I weighted but my Muscle Mass which I was hoping to increase, decreases 0.3% and my BMR decreases from 1128 to 1119. I'm not sure why but maybe there's something I did wrong during my training.

A month ago, I was 53.5KG so after training for a month I've already lost 3.1KG. It's a great achievement for me. I still eat breakfast, lunch and dinner but in small portion. I'm not sure if my body is getting firm or tone but I'm sure my organ fats are getting smaller since I am easily full. My tummy is still bulging but I hate doing sit ups so I just do abs exercise.

Been doing this exercise for a week now. I hope it will pay off after a month :)

So, it's Fasting month for the Muslims. Here's wishing all my Muslims Family and Friends "Selamat Berpuasa"

I am trying to what I call it as "Slim Fasting" Yeah, I overdo it by not eating or drinking anything for 17 hours :p I learned my lesson because now I'm having slight headache and a bad tummy ache. Thank goodness I bought an egg tart this morning which is actually for my Break Fasting at 3.45pm. So, yeah my workmate ask me to join them for lunch later on and I can't say no because my body is dying :P seriously no energy at all. I am running this evening so I need food to boost up my energy so I can burn at least 300cal.

51.4KG

50.9KG

Any difference???? No right :( But I wont give up easily......

Marathon 2012

2011-07-26T13:04:00.005+08:00

Am I ready for a Marathon??

I've only started jogging since early July and I've only achieved 9KM recently but it's more to brisk walking rather than running and to be specific 4km running and 5km walking. So, am I ready for a marathon which requires more running than walking? I've achieved 7KM recently as well by running the whole way and in between walking for 5 - 10 minutes to catch my breath. I guess, it depends on where I run. I've started jogging in Bukit Padang but mostly brisk walking and only started training running in Likas Lake. Now that I'm back to Bukit Padang I realize that the route and track really is vary. My feet hurts after running 2 round plus which led me to do more brisk walking but I read that walking is part of an exercise as well so ya, it's fine by me :)

Been avoiding Fast Food for a month now but it was worth it. I realize that my tummy become a bit smaller but its still flabby because I hate doing sit ups :P So, instead of sit ups I'm doing DIY aerobics and zumba at home. I think its working :)

Yes, I wanna own that body instead of being skinny :P Isn't that just sexy!!! I would be so confident in everything I wear :))

AND

I goggled online and was excited to see that the next Borneo International Marathon is on 6th May 2012. Yes, if possible I want to try run 10K Marathon :P But I haven't decide yet because I am afraid that I couldn't make it :) But wish me luck.....cause who knows, right???

I woke up around 5pm but it was too late for me to drive to Sutera Harbour. There were no parking and the road was packed and jamm. Sigh! I promise myself that I will definitely join next year :)

Just wanna share that I have a new puppy :) His name is Bubble....

On my last post, you can read that I've been running and on a healthy d

iet for 4 days now. Keeping in shape and being healthy is my main reason for jogging but at the same time I'm training for the charity run.

AND

When I run, all my worries just run away as well. I guess my brain is exercising too :) But since I've started running and dieting, my skin becomes dehydrated and pimples started to pop out :( but the best part is " My Body Feels Great " I guess that's what important, right !

BTW

The closing date for the 7K Sutera Harbour Sun

set Charity Run is tomorrow (10th July 2011) You can go to Gaya Street tomorrow to register because they also open a booth there or go directly to Pan Pacific or Magellan Sutera to send in your form.

Let's Start Be in Shape and Be Healthy !!

Staying In Shape

2011-07-08T12:07:00.006+08:00

Yes, I've started to jog since Tuesday and after running and walking briskly for 3 days, the cramps and painful muscle and soar ankle are completely gone :) My diet plan is also going well. I've not taken rice for 4 days (including today) I'm doing everything healthily to stay in shape. I eat more fruits and vegetables and drank lots and lots of water.

I'm taking everything slowly because I don't want to overdo it. In fact, I only will weight myself after a month of running :) For now, I just want to keep fit because I realize that since I've started running, I am not easily tired and I feel energetic / fresh. My stamina is getting better and I feel a lot healthier.

This is Me on my 2nd day of Running :)

" Let's us all stay in shape and be healthy. "

T-Shirt Doodle

2011-06-13T09:15:00.012+08:00

Are you an ANGRY BIRD fan??

Do you constantly on your Iphone playing the game??

Everyday to me is Angry Bird. I constantly play the game and got addicted to it. I even dream on being in the game *LOL* Recently while browsing Facebook I saw an online shop called T-Shirt Doodle selling Angry Bird T-Shirts. I was so excited, I flipped! Without hesitation I purchased myself 2 Angry Birds T-Shirt for myself and for my Husband for only RM40 each (exclude postage). For me, it's quite cheap and definitely worth buying. There's a few design to choose from....see below!! Aren't they just awesome!!

Picture courtesy from T-Shirt Doodle

The sizes ranges from XS to XL and its accordingly to US size which means XS is equivalent to S (UK size) So if you're a S size you might consider buying size XS to make it look like a Baby Tee. So people who have big body can purchase size XL which is equivalent to size XXL. You can checked out the T-Shirt Size Chart below.....

The quality of the shirt is 100% cotton. You'll be satisfied with the quality of the shirt because I do! The colour is really radiant and vibrant. I also find the Doodle team to be very pleasantly friendly and organize. My first impression upon receiving the parcel is way EXCEED EXPECTATION! It was folded neatly in a very good quality plastic bag instead of the crumpled low quality plastic bags.

Besides Angry Birds T-Shirt they also have Cartoon's T-shirt from Sesame Street (Elmo & Cookie Monster), SpongeBob, Mario Bro's and Sesame Street Cartoon Pouches. The T-shirt prices range from RM25 to RM30 inclusive postage and the pouches is RM9.90 each (exclude postage).

For more info please visit http://www.facebook.com/tshirtdoodle

That's me!

Hubby's

Because of the excellent quality of the T-Shirt, I've purchased another one!! Yeah, its worth the money :D

Neatly Folded in a Quality Plastic Bag :)

Thank you T-Shirt Doodle :)

World Ocean Day?

2011-06-08T11:50:00.007+08:00

Says.My

Did you know that World Ocean Day is on the 8th of June? Let's celebrate it by pledging to "Live Green"

Did you know that plastic bags don't just end up in landfills...they end up in oceans too. By using reusable shopping bags, you'll be significantly reducing your usage of plastic bags and helping to protect our endangered wildlife. Every year, more than 100,000 turtles, birds, seals and whales die as a result of accidentally eating plastic bags. So help protect our marine life and pledge to "Live Green"!

Says. My Campaign
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I went in my car this morning to work, JJ & Ean from Hitz.FM mentioned about World Ocean Day and it made me wonder if there's such event. I've never heard about it before so I Google it and walla, so there is such a day :) I am helping Say.My campaigning World Ocean Day to celebrate it by pledging to "Live Green"

I had done my part by using reusable shopping bags which I used while shopping in Supermarkets. I make it a habit to put it in my car so I wont forget about it. I am happy to say that Kota Kinabalu had started campaigning to "Live Green" by having Monday & Weekends as "No Plastic Bags Day". Why don't you do your part as well??

- Let's save our Mother Nature and Let's start Campaigning by pledging "Live Green" -

Kota Kinabalu International Film Festival (KKIF) consists of Award Winning Foreign Movies. As far as I know this is the 2nd or the 3rd year of these prestigious event and I am happy to be a part of it this year. This event will take place on 3rd - 9th June 2011. This year KKIF 2011 will feature seven International Foreign Movies from 4 Countries - France, Malaysia, Japan and Germany. It will be shown at Golden Screen Cinema, Suria Sabah and University Malaysia Sabah Art & Cultural Hall.

The Girl From Monaco (French)

I went to the first night which I call "A French Night". It's the opening night at GSC Suria. They served Wine & Cheese for refreshment before the movie starts. There were a lot of people which comes from far and near supporting KKIF. The event started off with speech which I find humorous and welcoming. It really was such a great experience for me and I was surprise to see the Movie Hall are pack with people.

One Million Yen Girl (Japanese)

I also went to the 5th Night which I call " Itadakimas !! " It was also in GSC Suria. They served Sushi, Green Tea, Sake and some beverages. I didn't get to taste the Sushi because we came late :( I was so damn hungry that night I bought myself 2 donuts which I ate in the cinema. The cinema was pack as well. Wow, I can't believe KKIF is supported by a lot of people in Kota Kinabalu. It made me excited for next year KKIF and I can't wait for KKJF next week.

Question :

What Do I know About Breeze Mag?

Answer :
Breeze Mag exist in my eyes during my visit to Starbucks a year ago but I never actually have interest in reading it thoroughly. I don't really know much about the magazine. I was reintroduce to the Magazine when I saw my cousin Eudora joined the I 'Like' Kota Kinabalu Jazz Festival 2011 contest!

Without any further a due, I decided to join the contest as well just for fun but truthfully I do have an intention to win those tickets ♥ So, I browse thoroughly Breeze Mag Facebook page and find the Magazine quite interesting. Every little details of an upcoming events, entertainment, art and cultural and lifestyle in Borneo is publish in the Magazine. From not knowing about our local products or acts to knowing quite extremely a lot about it makes me a proud Sabahan. For a few years it is only publish in Sabah but now its flying and spreading its wings to Kuching, Miri and Brunei. Talk about express success!! I wish them all the best...

Wanna read or get your own Breeze Magazines??
Go to Sabah State Library, CORE Fitness, The Body Shop, Dome, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Bella Italia, Sailor's Cafe, VedaBlu, Boutique Cupcakes, The Station bookstores at Damai Plaza.

By the way

This is my entry for the I 'Like' Kota Kinabalu Jazz Festival 2011 contest!

“I’ve never been to KKJF before and upon hearing about the event I am extremely excited about it. The first thing that pops in my mind when it comes to Jazz Music is Kenny G. Yes, I’m a big fan of his since my dad bought his CD from my childhood years. Inspired by his talent, I enrolled myself to Organ classes. The harmonic and smooth jazz music never fails to take my breath away. The strong but flexible rhythm under-structure of with solo will definitely makes me want to move and sway my body all through the night. Oh how, I dream on being in that environment / situation right now :) I would be honored if I could attend KKJF this year. I seriously hope to win the ticket! ♥”

AND!!!

I won!! Yes I won!! I'm so excited and looking forward for the KKJF this coming 17th & 18th June 2011......and if you're going see you there :)

2011-06-05T13:18:00.005+08:00

Perdana Park, Tanjung Aru is a Community Park built on a total of 18 acres and stretches to over 2 kilometers long. Among the features available in the park are Musical Water Fountain, Jogging Walkway and Exercise Areas, Reflexology Footpaths, Caters to Special Physical Needs, A Containerized Stage that could be used for Cultural Shows and Playgrounds for toddlers and children.

The Musical Water Fountain Performance which is the main attraction in the park.

RED!!

GREEN!

BLUE!

The park is quite big and you have no problem walking around with family and friends. I love how they make the park having so much things for us to enjoy ourselves without feeling that its just a waste of our time to go there. I seriously feel like a kid again when I step in the park and being there for the first time I have a good feeling that the park will promise us more attractions. I guess in the future Restaurants and Food Stall will be available. For the time being if you want to stuff yourselves with food while watching the Musical Water Fountain I suggest you all go to the beach first to buy some food and drinks. But don't worry because the park provide FREE OF CHARGE purified water for everyone so I suggest you all bring your own water bottles :)

What a nice landscape.

The Sewerage Water Treatment Plant Playground.

The View while you walk around the 2 Kilometers long walk

The Reflexology Footpath and Jogging Areas

What a beautiful walkway :)

It's quite easy for you to find parking since there's so many of them. But the long queue at the entrance is really troublesome because people tend to cut the line just so they could be in front. Seriously, its really annoying. Can't they be patient!! So, please be extra careful at the entrance and be considerate!

This is how spaciest the parking lot is.

Please be alert and extra careful when bringing your kids there. Make sure you are always keeping an eye of them because the park is always crowded and there's so many people you have to be EXTRA EXTRA alert of your kids.

The Musical Water Fountain Performance Scheduled.

Parking Fees :)

PERDANA PARK, TANJUNG ARU - This park is donated for the benefit, inspiration and enjoyment of the people of Sabah :)

Here's a video of the Musical Water Fountain Performance :) Enjoy!!

Scotty McCreery

2011-05-27T10:14:00.002+08:00

Who knew a 17 year old boy from Garner, North Carolina would win the tenth season of American Idol on May 25, 2011. He have this deep bass voice which is unusual for his age and it won my heart since the day he Auditioned for American Idol. It never occurred to me that he'll be in top 40 down to being the Top 2. I know a lot of people disapproved his winning saying that he only can sing country music and that he's boring or he sound the same every week but is it wrong to be a Country Singer? Why need to be so talented in so many genre? I had enough with singers who only show off their high pitch voice and that they can reach the high notes. That's only an advantage in singers vocal chords :) We need some BIG & SEXY voice male singers out there. I don't mind Scotty being too Country because Country musics are awesome. When Scotty sings, he touched my heart with his BIG voice and sometimes, I wish someone who is near to me sings me love songs with a voice like Scotty :p I know with his voice he can go far in the Country music industry or other genre :) He Won so deal with it HATERS!!! :P

I LOVE YOU THIS BIG SCOTTY :)

Love,

End of The Week..

2011-05-23T15:46:00.008+08:00

Weekend was so so only but I enjoyed myself. The weather was incredibly hot it made all of us feeling under the weather but that never stop me from enjoying my days with the people I love. I went for lunch with Eudora and colleagues at Lintas. Then we went to the mall just to waste some more time :p We did browse some summer dresses and heels that we planned to buy by end of the month. Shopping once in a while seems fun. During the Kaamatan holidays I'll be spending cray cray day with my two sista's Ms. Sots & Ate Fink doing cray cray stuff :p That's what we do best "Cray-Cray" things :D and I need a tan!! We'll be hitting the malls as well BUT we need to make sure Ate Fink wont get too excited with all the Discounts :p

Our day at Bukit Kokol celebrating 1st November 2010:)

Later that night, I and Hubby went to Lita's place for a birthday surprise party in ermm I don't really know the name of the place but it's nearby our place as well :) I was shocked to see a house in front of Lita's house being splashed with red paint. Normally, in such cases this could only be Ah Long's work. It seriously scared the hell out of me. I wanted to take a picture but by only looking at the house I already feel frighten. No one is staying in the house anymore. I was told they ran away the next morning after the Ah Long's splash the house with red paint during the night. They left the house leaving everything behind. The story was so sad and I pitied the family. What's more sad is that I saw a Cross in front of the house door. Yes, the house belongs to a Roman Catholic Family. I hope they are alright. People make mistake and I know God is protecting them from any harm.

Oh did I mentioned, the Sambal Manga that night is AWESOME!!! Nyummmm Nyummmmm..

So, Sunday is normally our Hub&Wife time. We decided to watch Pirates of The Caribbean with Julie Anne but the show that we wanted to watch is FULL!!! So, we waste some time in 1B playing games and visited the pet store....movie date was cancelled but it was such a great Sunday :)

On our way to 1B

Hubby enjoying his game of Horse Race while Julie Anne look at him :)

Hubby patting a poodle :D so cute!!

So, my weekend wasn't so bad after all. I'm looking forward for our family kaamatan celebration this Sunday :) There's going to be a lot of games and food to indulge :p

I hope everyone had a great weekend as I did.....

Love,
Vira

ItsMyStory

2011-05-20T10:59:00.007+08:00

On the 8th of May 2011, I and my Cousin Eudora attend ItsMyStory at Starbucks City Mall. It was hosted by Jonathan Tse and he's one of the reason I went that night. I love his voice!!

The night went by perfectly. I enjoyed myself with a cup of Hot Chocolate and the performance of 4 local bands in Sabah and I totally didn't know they actually exist :p I take this oppurtunity to thanked my cousin Eudora for introducing me to the World of Local Bands. I have to admit, they are quite talented and interesting. One of the performance that I totally fell head over heels in love with is from the band Xinxerena.

These are some of the performance that night. I didn't take all the bands pictures but these will do :))

and here's the video of the band that caught my attention....

Cheers To Life :)

2011-05-19T10:46:00.006+08:00

I've been enjoying every bit of my life with things that I love. Music, Movies, Beaches, Family Time....yes, I'm doing it all. Sometimes, we just need to get out from the box and go for it. It made me realize how much I miss it. Every minute starts an hour & every minute is a new opportunity. Each time the clock ticks you have a chance to start over to say, do, think. I learned that if you only look at what is, you might never attain what could be.....so, I face my fears, gain some strength, courage, and confidence in the doing and just go out and enjoy the life that I've been hiding from.

There's three things of life that I value the most - Love, self-confidence & family/friends.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have so cherish the moment, because every second you spend longing for the future, is a second of the present you can never get back. If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets, then can come the best of life!

NEVER spend your life with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live. Just spread your wings and fly!! Move forward and never look back.....

- The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.... -

Cheers to Life!!

" Sooner or later you will see the BIG PICTURE God is painting for your life instead of just the colours He's using at the moment.... "

Always Think Positive

2011-04-13T22:21:00.002+08:00

I was browsing properties, houses and apartments at mudah.com.my and was shocked to see the prices of used houses as well new build ones. It's so damn expensive!! I actually wanting to build or buy a house in 2013 but now I'm not confidant about it because of our financial situation BUT like I always tell myself "always think positive". For now, I just keep on saving money and finish my personal loans because I'm afraid that in the near future I can't do any house loans. I have 4 loans finishing in year 2012 so I'm crossing my fingers that my house loan succeed. I'm surviving with minimal money for the time being but I believe that every sacrifices I made will pay off someday, I just need to be patient because I know there will come a day its going to be my time :)

I'm also planning to find a better job but not in the near time. We'll see how far the Company goes and since they still having project going on I'll stick around. I was thinking about working in Sarawak so I send a few resume to a few company's there. Just trying it out, who knows right?! I haven't tell my husband yet but if its a good offer he'll might understand :)

All right than....it's time to continue my anime :)

2011-02-12T10:31:00.000+08:00

I want to start jogging again so; I’m going to the mall and buy myself jogging shoes because the last one I had is seriously damaged. I miss running and I’m hoping that the weather will allow me to do so. I will make a routine to jog at least 3 times a week. I’m hoping to lose some weight too and if possible train myself because I’m planning to join a marathon but that only be decide next month. Yes, my 2011 is all about health, baby and freedom. I want to stay in shape and be healthy. I want to enjoy life and at the same time be free to do whatever I want because I think I’ve been so stress out I look miserable and old. I seriously need to do stuff that I love. I learned something from my Ate Pink as well, so I thanked her for that. I have started shopping again and that really made me so happy. Even so I have a budget for everything I shop but I really enjoyed myself. I’ve started to do facial again at least once a month. My next appointment will be end of February. I’ve started saving which I’m really proud of myself :p

So far 2011 have been awesome……..

Christmas (L.O.V.E)

2010-12-21T10:02:00.002+08:00

Christmas is just 4 days away and I'm already excited. I've no mood to work and my mind is all about Christmas !~ I can't believe its almost the end of the year and we'll be welcoming a new year in just 10 days. It's been a wonderful 2010 and even so there's a lot of ups and downs I somehow learn from it and hope to better myself in the new year. I have only 1 new year resolution and that is to be a MUM. I don't know whether it will happen next year or the year after but I prayed to God for his guidance to make me strong.

This year Christmas is a bit quiet but my spirit is just like the years before. I'm not only excited but I'm at peace as well. Present hunting almost come's to an end. Tonight will be the last day I'll shop for Christmas before I focus on baking cookies and cakes. I've put up the Christmas Tree last weekend and on Christmas Eve I'll put some more decorations. I've wrapped up half of the Chrismas gift and somehow I feel I forget some more people ha ha ha. I'll check back the list I've made. Maybe this year I may forget 1 or 2 people but no worries, there's always next year :) Oh and I found the perfect gift for hubby....I hope he likes it...ermm no I know he'll love it hehehehehe...its something he always wanted...tut tut :P he'll only get it on the 25th night :) surprise surpriseeeeeee :P

Have a wonderful day and God Bless.....

Love,

Determination!!!!

2010-12-06T19:21:00.002+08:00

I am so determine and motivated to lose that 5kg's before Christmas. I'm really working hard on it. I eat in small portion even thou I'm so damn hungry, I skip dinner for 3 days now and if its already 7pm I wont even drink a cup of milo. I'll wait till breakfast to eat and by then, I wont be that hungry. I do exercise / arobic for 40 minutes per day and at least 5 rounds of running. But its raining nowadays so mostly I do 40 minutes of Aerobic. I wanted to do 1 hour but by then I'm too tired and my leg and body will start to cramp. I know 3 days of exercise will do no difference because they said it would take a month to show some difference in my appearance if I continue to do it everyday but I don't care because I'm also doing it for my health :) Fabian said my tummy & face shrink a bit but when I see myself in the mirror its still the same. My tummy is still bulging and my face is still FAT & ROUND. I'm afraid to go up the scale because I'm afraid that my effort wont do any much difference :( Oh well, wish me luck then.....I'll just keep on exercising & control my food until I see some result. I wont give up...NEVER!!!

By the way, Christmas is just 20 days away :) I can't wait....

Love,
Vira

An Aweful Friday Night (19th November 2010)

2010-11-20T10:53:00.002+08:00

It started off with a beautiful Friday night but ended with a tragic. We had a car accident near to St. Simon Church. A white van hit us but I praise the Lord that it didn’t banged the passenger door as I was sitting right there. Fabian keeps on telling the guy “dekat lagi kena itu passenger door kalau kena, bini saya yang kena tau” I reassure him that I’m okay, not a scratch on my body except that my neck and arm are painful but I’m fine. I just want the thing to be off from my mind. I was shaken by it and hoping my car will be the same after its fix. I’m so hoping that the engine is okay. I saw a lot of oil spilled and water on the road and was wondering what it is. They told me it’s the radiator. Ermm…what’s a radiator? I’m not good in cars but I’m also grateful that I wasn’t the driver because maybe I might have panic and wouldn’t know what to do. Fabian hit the handbrake right on time before it knocked other things. I’m just glad the car is not that badly injured but it does look ugly. Both my front tires are not centered and I’m hoping they fix it…ARGH!!~~ .

Love,

Vira

I want to be 45kg :)

2010-11-15T15:30:00.004+08:00

I'm so in the Christmas mood. I cannot wait to be on leave for a week. I cannot wait for family gathering and I cannot wait to be 50Kg by the end of the month. Yes, 3kg to go and it is so damn hard. Well, I thought I didn't lose any weight this week but I did. I lose 0.5kg and even so its not that much but I'm proud of myself. It really motivate me to lose more. I was 53.5kg as of 4th November 2010 but now I am 53kg as of 13th November 2010. I'm hoping to lose 1kg this week. I am 5kg to 8kg overweight because according to the nutrionist I am suppose to be 45kg to 48kg for my height. But for now, I only want to lose at least 3kg by the end of the month and will continue doing so until Christmas. Wish me luck!!!

This is when I was 46kg

This is when I was 50kg

This is when I was 48kg

Now, 53.5kg

TTC!!

2010-11-10T19:29:00.003+08:00

After the incident 3 months ago, hubby and I are TTC again. I went to see the same gynae and I was happy when he told me that my Cyst is gone but my PCOS is still there. So, I decided to browse online for some solution and I found a very good and natural Fertility Product that may increase my chances to conceive. I purchased a starter pack and it cost me RM250. It's a bit expensive but I had to try it besides its herbs and not chemical so there's no harm in trying, right :) So, wish me luck.......*baby dust*

Life is full of surprises. These days I'm not sure whether to expect something good or bad but I know its something to look forward to everyday. What's important is that I'm living in a very happy environment even so its not perfect still its perfect in my own way.

and I'm soooo in love with Chuck & Blair. You know what I'm talking about right??? Gossip Girl Season 4 is out!!

Baking Time !~

2010-08-24T13:32:00.002+08:00

These pass couple of days I’ve been forcing myself to wake up every morning. I’m just too tired or lazy to wake up. I need some beauty sleep tonight after I bake my cupcakes. Oh by the way, last night my brother insisted baking chocolate chip cookies and so we did. At first, we do not know how to operate the new oven which is very silly but in the end when we do know how to use it we already waster the first badge of cookies. But the second and third badges was okay except when it cool down it was a bit hard to bite but still the taste is delicious. So, today he insisted to bake another badge of cookies ha ha ha. I told you the oven will make you addicted to baking once you have it. I thought baking was hard but its not, we just need to read the instruction of the recipe correctly and bake it at the correct time.

I almost forgot, last weekend, I made Kuih Batik and Honeydew Sago. Fabian and my Papa love the honeydew sago and even my cousins said it was nice. Well, the first time I made it; it was too thick because of putting too much sago. Alfie told me to make it watery so I did. I hesitate to make another one on Sunday to bring to Fabian’s niece birthday. I’m happy that everyone likes it. My kuih batik was okay but no worries I will improve myself every time I make one. Tonight, I'm baking cupcakes :) If its' delicious then I think about selling it but if it not I think I stick doing it for fun and eat it all by myself :P I found a new recipe from the Philippines "creme -filled log cake. I'm so interested on trying it out but not tonight. Maybe tomorrow night :) Who doesn't love dessert?? I know I do.....

Basic To Start My Dream....

2010-08-18T10:54:00.001+08:00

I don’t really earn that much for working my ass off at my current workplace. I survive every month because I don’t spend that much. So, since my brother has set up an online business with my other cousin I try to involve myself by helping around without asking any pay. I love promoting the website, giving ideas and especially selling them off during flea market. It also gives me an idea to do my own business. I’m still finding the right supplier and for now, I’m proud of my husband who has ventured himself into business as well. He is really doing well in his business. He gets to know lots of new customer everyday. Maybe one day I’ll invest in my brothers business but for now, I let them do it and I just help around. He told me he’ll pay me but like I said to him, I’m only doing it for fun. Besides, I didn’t invest anything during the opening of the business so it’s not fair if I earn something that I didn’t invest. Even Fabian told me that it’s not fair. He told me to learn from the business before starting my own. So, for now, I really enjoy helping around especially saying “HELLO” to all the customers. By the way, I have my ways to earn extra income so no worries :)

By the way, do come to Megalong Flea Market this 28th and 29th August 2010 at 10am till 6pm because The Red Shoes & PhatFabes 1 United Store will be there again so do come and support us. See, I love promoting … I should change my job hahahaha…

Officially Open!~ TRS.

I really don’t know what to think right now. I’m having mix feelings. I can’t even sleep last night. I’m excited, happy, sad, nervous and even worried. Everyone keep on telling me to be positive, think positive and have faith in myself but it seems hard. Try being in my shoes, then maybe they’ll understand how I really feel right now. I know that everyone means well but it’s just me still living in denial. When I first got the news I was so happy, I shed tears of joy but when everything is uncertainty now it just makes me lose hope but I’m not easily giving up. Things will be clarified this week and I hope its happy news. I leave it all in God’s hands for now. All I can do is try to relax, have a little faith in myself and don’t think so much. I need some positive energy in me. All the best Vira!~

By the way, please do drop by www.theredshoes.my it’s our DeMango’s online business. We just started today, yes today!! We have ready stock items as well pre-order ones. There are a lot of things that we have to offer such as clothes, make-up palette, shoes, bags, accessories, perfumes, lingerie and many more. Do check the website out.

Viva Espana!~

2010-07-09T09:25:00.001+08:00

I’ve predicted Netherland Vs Spain for the World Cup Finals since the top 16 and I’m overwhelmed it came true. At first I was in awe to see Portugal Vs Spain match because I love both teams but I still vow myself to be loyal to Spain and I’m proud to say they did win the match. Goodbye Portugal!~ I support other teams as well mainly for betting which some I won big time by predicting their scores.

The reason I choose Spain is because of how they handle themselves in the field and Medias. My husband has been their supporter since before I even watch World Cup. He’s a big fan of Manchester United, England and Spain. No doubt he’s a football fanatic since he was small. I only came to love Spain when I saw them play in the grouping. Since then I support them for their team spirit and strong will. They don’t need big star players to win. I saw a lot of potential in them. Even the ESPN news write stuff about them not being star players but played really good football. I will continue to support them even if they lose against Netherlands. Viva Espana!~ May the best team wins…..

Love,
Vira

No wonder everyone does it....

…its fun, burns fats and we get to learned some new moves to our dancing routine. I had 2 classes and I love it. I hope by doing it for 3 months I’ll be fit. There’s also Jazzercise which really amuse me. It involves Cardio, Strength and Stretch. I’m only joining the line dancing but I’m really interested to join Jazzercise as well. It’s only RM5 per class. It’s a walk in class. Anyone interested? I know I am :P

I found this online, why don’t you all check it out. See how they move, nice right?! At first it seems hard but after a few tries it gets easy. If others can do it so can we :)

Waka Waka!!!

2010-06-26T11:40:00.005+08:00

"Waka Waka......."

My drivers license had expired since 4 days ago. I forgotten about the expiry date and only remembered it when my friend told me he's going to renew his car road tax. It immediately strike me that my drivers license expiry date is somewhere June. Guess what, when I check it has already expired 2 days ago :P

Fabian was too busy to help me to renew it so I decided to renew it today but when I called up the Post Office, JPJ online is offline today. So, here I am with an expired drivers license :P and the worse part is I don't feel nervous at all. Seriously, I'm hoping there's no police traffic anyway today :P

*wink wink* I'm so happy that Portugal and Spain are through to the top 16. The best part is they are going to play with each other in the next match. Isn't that exciting? Well, for me I hope Spain get through but I love both teams and hoping they go to the Finals. I wish both teams the best of luck. *muah muah to Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres :P*

Football are worth watching when there's a hunk playing in it hahahahaha....

Love,

Vira

It's JUNE!~ Howdy Peeps!~

2010-06-11T10:11:00.001+08:00

Wow, it’s been a month since my last post. I was too lazy to write anything but I make its essential to write today. What have been going on for the past one month? Well, I had a wonderful Kaamatan holiday. It was a long holiday and it gives us a chance to have family gathering, family outing and sleep more. I gained weight for the past months and recently it really worries me because I’ve outgrown some of my pants. I’m trying to lose weight before my cousins wedding is this September. Can I do it? We’ll see how it goes :)

I’m happy to say that I’m happily married for 8 months now. We have our ups and downs but we manage to settle it and no, I’m not pregnant yet. I might have false alarm any other month especially when my period is late but it was okay for me when the pregnancy test turns negative because I know someday maybe not this year I will have my own child. I just need to be patient, that’s all. For the time being, I just enjoy life and travel as much as I can before I start a family of my own. What’s important now is I lose at least 3kg’s.

By the way, last night me, fabian and my brother went to Megalong Cineplex to watch A-TEAM. The concept of the cinema is just like Cathay Cineplex and the movie hall is similar to Cathay / Growball as well but I really dislike how they construct the main entrance. It’s so not strategic. When I’m about to go in the entrance hall / waiting hall I was shocked to see people standing up waiting / queuing up to go in the movie hall and beside it was people lining up to buy food. So, it’s hard to walk in to the ticket counter. But, seriously when you go in the movie hall you’ll find the seat are very comfortable, clean and the sound system is very good. For me, to have a cinema that is only 5 minutes drive from my home is good enough. I’m just happy that Penampang have its own Mall as well.

The Place 2

2010-05-14T23:01:00.002+08:00

Phew!~ I just finished packing. I did the web-check in as well so we only have to be there 1 hour before the flight to check in our bags. It's the wrong time to have body ache, headache and cough. I surely need some rest before tomorrow journey. I'm not going to fall sick, no no no no. By the way, I went to THE PLACE 2 Karamunsing for dinner just now. Wow, I love the place because its' cosy and the food is delicious. While I karaoke alone, hubby was playing pool with one of the workers. Everyone is being friendly with us which made us feel at home. I'll surely will go there again.

I hope everyone will have a great weekend. I know I will :)

Goodnight...

Nitty Night !~

2010-05-07T20:42:00.006+08:00

Hubby surprise me by buying me a cute pink nitty just now. I suddenly remember my cousin Eudora asking me to buy a sexy lace nitty the other day but I declined :P At least this nitty is not so sexy. The one's she choose is showing too much skin hehehe. She said its' to avoid "the malas" attitude in us :P. I was touched because it's not rare for Fabian to buy me presents on normal days (without occassion) He only do so on Christmas because we have our exchange gift tradition. He told me it was cheap but for me the thoughts that counts. I really appreciate it :)

My Cute Pink Nitty

Me like!~

Labour Day!~

2010-05-01T12:14:00.003+08:00

Happy Labour Day!~

Yup it's my 6th year celebrating it. Wow, how time flies. I still remembered my first time working, nervous wreck I tell you. I was being shy and scared that I might do wrong haha. So, not me right?~ It seems just yesterday I've earn my first salary and I waste it on shopping. 4 more years to go before I say goodbye to the Company. Yes, I intended to stay for 10 years for my first job. Then I'll move on. Who know's I might have my own business by then or just be a housewife. Well, I told my husband I am only going to work till I'm 35 years old then I'll be a full time house wife. I have 9 years to go. I've always wish I have my own boutique. I'm still holding on to my dream. Everyone keep on telling me " Make it happen, babe ". We'll see how it goes. Who know's where can I register for Make Up Course? For sure the fees have to be reasonable though. Hee!~

So, here I am waiting for the clock to strike 1pm. I can't wait to go out with my Sista's. I've been keeping myself at home till I forget what is fun. Doesn't mean I'm married I have to stick with my man 24/7. Duh! Life is Short, Time flies like a rocket and Everyday seems to get wasted so better spend it with people we love and care especially family. I love mia familia!!~~

Being a bit emo this past few days maybe because I'm feeling old ha ha ha. I saw wrinkles around my eyes too. My gawd, I need facial ASAP!!~~

Oppss..need to get ready now. Sayonara Amigos.

Have a wonderful Labour Day!~ Enjoy it while it lasted..

IP MAN 2 & IRON MAN 2

2010-04-29T15:47:00.003+08:00

IP Man 2 is highly recommended to watch. I don’t know why but it involves different types of emotions in me when I watched the film. I laugh, I cried, I got annoyed, I got angry, I feel sad and I feel happy within this 2 hours movie. I can’t believe I can have all these emotions at the same time. Crazy, I tell you. I keep on putting out a fist and pulled Fabian’s shirt. Thank goodness I didn’t rip his sleeve or else Fabian have to walk out from the Cinema sleeveless. The Cinema was packed / full house and we’re lucky to be able to even buy a ticket. Poor Mack, he has to sit far away from us due to limited sit left upon purchasing the tickets but no worries tonight we’ll sit together cause Fabian went to GSC 1B this afternoon to buy the tickets for Iron Man 2 for the 8.45pm show. Wow, 2 days in a row watching Movies. Isn’t life great??!!

Love,

Picnic by the beach..

2010-04-26T15:55:00.003+08:00

I had fun yesterday with my cousins. We had a simple picnic with lots of home cook meals prepared by all of us. I thanked God for the fine weather and delicious cuisines. There are a lot of people but we got ourselves a nice and cosy spot. We watched the sunset together by the beach and it was such a meaningful one because these are the people who I am comfortable with and the one’s who knows me best. It was surely the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen so far. It’s been a while since I have such a wonderful weekend.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well :)

Love,

The Losers

2010-04-24T11:57:00.001+08:00

The Losers movie is quite interesting. I went to watched it last night with hubs after dinner with the in laws. I kind of like movies that involve action with lots of humour plus a bit of sexiness in it. No doubt the main lady character in the movie was sizzling hot. I wish I have that type of body :P I give the movie 5 star. I guess there’s a sequel to it since the movie was left hanging and the bad man is not dead yet. I can’t wait for The Losers Part II. We met Mac and Liza watching the same movie as well. Its’ been months since I last saw them, and was glad to meet them last night. There’s also this Model Search in 1Borneo last night. They are doing the runway rehearsal for tomorrow show. My gawd, they are so damn skinny. I was like 3 times or 5 times fatter than them. I really envy their body :( But for Fabian, the hot sexy car is hotter than them. It’s a Rally Model competition for the Sexy Sports Cars. The event is on starting today till tomorrow.

I’m going out for lunch with my workmate, Su Chin later and do some present hunting. It’s been a while since we last hang out. Maybe next time we try to make a lunch date with the rest as well. Maybe, going out for buffee lunch at promenade, perhaps? If our budgets allow us to because nowadays, all of us seem broke because of heavy commitments. By the way, today is my papa’s birthday. We’re treating him dinner tonight. I’ll post some pictures if I’m not to lazy to blog he he. Have a great weekend everyone :)

Wishing Papa " A very blessed happy birthday and May your days fill with joy and love around you. I love you bunch "

Bridal Fair 2010

2010-04-19T09:35:00.006+08:00

I had a fun weekend. On Saturday after work, I and hubby went to Karamunsing. We were there for present hunting as hubby is going for his friend’s kid’s birthday later that night. I have to take a rain checked from going because I’m so not in the mood for parties. I just want to stay home, fold the clothes while watching Akademi Fantasia. One thing I love going to Karamunsing is that I got to eat Singapore Chicken Rice. I’ve always love eating there because I love the taste of the gravy of the Chicken *yum yum* Spend about 2 hours in Karamunsing then went straight home to do some house chores.

After Sunday mass we went to Lintas to eat the famous Kon Lou Mee. Around 11 o’clock in the morning we went to Star Hotel for the Bridal Fair. I read Jofanna Bridal blog that they are the main sponsors for the fair, besides my sister in law, Joanna is one of the run way models. We came just in time for the 1st run way show. Wow, I saw my wedding gown and I was almost in tears for I miss being a bride hahaha. Seriously, when I saw it I keep on telling my husband “eeeee my wedding gown ohhhhhh~~!!” I saw a few new gowns which I love and wish it was the gown I wore on my wedding day. Jofanna surely have good taste in wedding gowns. Around 1pm my in laws came. We have to wait for another 3 hours in a half for the 2nd run way. But we were all enjoying the air-cond and the family companion. I was happy that there’s a lot of people came to Jofanna’s booth. As an ex-client, I am satisfied with everything they did for me. From the pre-wed photo shoot, the gown rental, the make up & hairdo till the wedding day pictures. Not only that, they had been so supportive in my wedding preparations.

Here’s some of the photo’s I took during the Bridal Fair in random order. I’m too lazy to arrange. I didn’t bring my camera since it ran out of battery so sorry for the not so good quality from my HP camera.

Have a great week everyone :)

Giant, Mega Long.

2010-04-17T10:55:00.000+08:00

I’ve seen pictures from Facebook that Giant; Mega Long had open starting 15th April 2010. I’m impressed that Penampang have its own Mall. Now, I don’t have to go far to find things and I can save my petrol car. I also read that there’s going to be Mega Long Cinema, Fitness Centre, A&W and many more. My God, surely I won’t drive to 1Borneo or KK area after this because I can find everything in Mega Long hahahaha. I’m proud of Penampang because there’s so much development since I could remember. Even so it’s a little bit overcrowded with limited parking space, I still am proud that Donggongon is developing. I don’t mind about the jam anymore.

By the way, I’ve finally booked our ticket to Kuala Lumpur as well my ticket to Singapore. It’s been 6 years since my last trip to KL and my first to Singapore. I’m a bit excited about it and really looking forward for it. I just love travelling. A friend told me once “We live only once in our life and Money, we can always find. Don’t make our life miserable just because we have limited cash” I used to think with limited cash we can’t do anything but if we minimise our spending and try to live a decent life we can actually do what we want. I’m thinking of taking up the ASBN loan next year after I finish a few loans. I have a 10 years planning and I’m going to achieve it. If others can do it, so can I.

Chayo!~ Chayo!~

P/s Hubby has taken up Golf. Erm…..man will always be man….hahahaha

Have a Wonderful weekend everyone.

Singapore~~

2010-04-08T10:16:00.002+08:00

This year, I have not started travelling and I’m going to Singapore this coming August. I’ve never been there before so I’m excited to finally going there soon. My friends keep on telling me that Singapore is beautiful and very clean. I love the word CLEAN. Let me rephrase it again “CLEAN”. Don’t you just love clean country, I know I do. I’ve seen pictures and I agree with them. I’m so looking forward for my holiday. I’m there for a holiday and not for shopping but I know I’ll shop a bit because I’ve heard the things there are quite expensive. Mum told me that there’s a few places where there’s bargaining and reasonable price range shops. I’m so going to that place *wink*. I am kind of afraid though to leave my two men at home. Last night during dinner, mummy asked me whether I want to go or not and hubby persuaded me to go. He convinces me to not worry about him and papa for they know how to take care of themselves. So, Singapore here I come. See you this August! Can’t wait~

Happy Thursday Everyone

Love, Vira

Good Friday

2010-04-02T19:55:00.002+08:00

I woke up around 11.30am. I know its a bit late but its all to replace my late nights that I had since Monday. I hurried to the toilet because I thought I have tummy ache but instead I found myself bleeding. I got a feeling that I am going to have my period since last night. I was late for 2 weeks and it had to come on Good Friday. So, imagine yourselve having menses on a hot day, standing for 2 hours plus in Church, sweating like hell + feeling sticky and feeling restless at the same time equals to PMS. My mood wasnt' good but thank you to AARON CRUZ FAURILLO for cheering me up. He was the one who keeps me focus in Church just now. He is Fabian's nephew and I love him so dearly. When he saw me, he smile and ran to hug me. Last time he used to always beat me because Fabian asked him too. Bad Husband!!~~ hahahaha.

For a married woman, having late period is something I look forward too every month. It's because I'm planning to have a child. I did check last week when my menses didn't come but the result was negative :( So, better luck next time then :D By the way, Clash of The Titans....ROCKS!!!~~~ Go watch it because it was worth it.....

Going to watch How to trained your dragon tomorrow.....have a nice weekend everyone!!~~

Love,
Vira

Eye Infection!~

2010-03-13T10:10:00.003+08:00

Quote of the day

“Don't waste a minute being unhappy. If one window closes - run to the next window - or break down a door.”

“Open your arms and welcome the joy of today!”

I was in awe when I woke up this morning with a red eye. I used my contacts lens more than 10 hours yesterday and the after effect was not wonderful at all. I can’t even drive but I force myself to go through the ray of light from the sun. It was painful my eyes was watery. Now I see myself having a white dot in the middle of my eye lens. It scared the hell out of me but I guess its nothing. It’s not painful so I assume it’s just something like dust. I hope by tomorrow it will be gone and if its not maybe I should go and see an eye doctor. My goodness this couple of weeks I’ve been having different kinds of sickness which really annoys me. I blame the heat~!! When will the heat go away and when will rain come and visit us here on planet earth??!!~~

Fun Facts of the day

People don't actually get sick colds and the flu because of cold weather.

People are more likely to get sick during wintertime because they spend more time indoors and they share more germs because of it, causing them to get sick more often. There is also evidence now that viruses spread more easily through dry air. When it is cold outside, the air is drier both outdoors and inside. In tropical areas, the common cold and flu season generally occurs during the rainy season because people come in closer contact with each other indoors.

Happy Weekend Everyone. Have an awesome one!!~~

Jelly, my 'ever so manja' cat :)

OMGFacts !~~

2010-03-12T14:13:00.003+08:00

Random facts I found on the web which caught my attention and amuses me. Silly me !~ :P

Having sex can reduce a fever because of the sweat produced.

Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain's blood vessels is lowered while we have sex. So now we see that actually, a woman's headache is rather a good reason for having sex, not against it.

Men have nipples because, as an embryo, everyone is a female until the Y chromosome kicks in. After conception, the human embryo develops as a female. Only after 6-8 weeks does the Y chromosome kick in and the fetus begins developing male characteristics. By this point breast tissue, milk ducts and nipples have already formed. This happens in all mammals, the only exception being stallions, who do not posses nipples. Generally evolution will only weed out a characteristic if it proves harmful to the creature, and of course, although having nipples provides no benefit to a man it has no ill effect either. Darwin (and others) wondered if at some point in the very distant past the males of a species from which we are descended suckled their young.

It's a fun fact which could be true, right. ~~Teeheeeeheeee~~

Have a great Friday Everyone !~

Love, Vira

Chilled Cheese Cake

2010-03-11T11:31:00.002+08:00

I’m taking up a new hobby. I’ve always love baking but never really had the chance to do so or maybe laziness have taken over me that I’ve put aside my interest to bake. I don’t even own an oven so; yeah that’s one more reason. After some point, I’ve suddenly have the urge to actually do it. Imagine I’ve not been cooking for several months and now, I’m so into cooking. Last night for dinner I’ve made Spaghetti and it’s out of the ordinary healthy Spaghetti I used to make. I’ve added in butter and cheese and trust me its so filling you can only eat a bowl. Even so I’m not a fan of cheese, I’m slowly adapting to it. It’s not like I’m eating cheese everyday, right. Besides, a lot of people love cheese so I know that I have to learn to make Chilled Cheese Cake. When I say a lot of people love cheese, this includes my husband. He had 3 plates of my spaghetti last night and keeps on telling me it’s delicious. At least, I know my husband love my cooking. He’s the one who always critics what ever I cook and I take it positively to better myself. It does prove I’m getting better but not perfect just yet. All I need is practice and if I fail once I’ll practice again until I succeed.

For starter, I’m going to bake Mango Chilled Cheese Cake. I hope it will taste good….

Wish me luck people of the blogger world :)

Love, Vira

Hachikō

2010-03-10T09:29:00.004+08:00

Has anyone watched the movie “Hachikō”? It’s a tale about a loyal dog that waits for his demised master at a train station that his master ride everyday. The dog kept on coming back waiting for his master to arrive for 10 years before it passed away in front of the train station. It’s based on a true story which happens in Tokyo in the 1920’s. I was touched by the storyline and I admit I did cry hysterically till the end of the movie. Now, there’s a bronze statue of the dog in front of the station to remember the lovely, loyal dog that has touched a lot of people during the time.

I’ve done some research about the dog and here’s what I’ve found out……

Hachikō (ハチ公?, November 10, 1923–March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公?, "faithful dog Hachikō" ('hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the position within the nest the dog came from, and 'kō' being a Japanese familiar or derogatory suffix)). Hachikō was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture, remembered for his loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him out from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.

Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.

The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.

This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station.

That same year, another of Ueno's faithful students (who had become something of an expert on the Akita breed) saw the dog at the station and followed him to the Kobayashi home where he learned the history of Hachikō's life. Shortly after this meeting, the former student published a documented census of Akitas in Japan. His research found only 30 purebred Akitas remaining, including Hachikō from Shibuya Station.

Professor Ueno's former student returned frequently to visit the dog and over the years published several articles about Hachikō's remarkable loyalty. In 1932 one of these articles, published in Tokyo's largest newspaper, threw the dog into the national spotlight. Hachikō became a national sensation. His faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Teachers and parents used Hachikō's vigil as an example for children to follow. A well-known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of the dog, and throughout the country a new awareness of the Akita breed grew.

Eventually, Hachikō's legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty.

Hachikō died on March 8, 1935. He died at the same spot where his owner found him. His stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

Each year on March 8, Hachikō's devotion is honored with a solemn ceremony of remembrance at Tokyo's Shibuya railroad station. Hundreds of dog lovers often turn out to honor his memory and loyalty.

Above all challenge yourself. You may well surprise yourself at what strengths you have, what you can accomplish.

Love, Vira

It's been a while since my last post. I was busy plus I was not in the mood to blog besides there's nothing I could think of to write. Well, there's a the whole month of Chinese New Year celebration and I had fun in each of the events I've attended. There's lion dance, sweet pork meat, delicious chinese home cook dinner / lunch and many more. The best part was receiving the red packet but as for me that is never going to happen anymore since I am / already married. Last year was the last year I received and this year is the first year I'm giving red packets. It was a whole new experience and I love it. Receiving and Giving has it own feeling / meaning and I felt more happier by giving because everytime I hand over a red packet they would smile, saying thank you and seeing happy faces makes me happy. At the same time, I feel blessed for having them, my family whom I love in my life. Nothing can take away this beautiful feeling I have towards them. Family always makes me welcome.

Fabian has been offered his old post as a Head Squash Coach in Miri by the new Management and this time he wants to bring me along. I have a very hard time deciding whether to go or not but I decided to tagged along only by end of June or July. I have to wait for my brother to come back to KK because I wont leave my parents on their own. I don't know whether he accepted the post or not but he is very much interested with the offer. The good thing is when I'm there I wont be jobless because they are offering me a job as well :) The only problem I will face is being far from my family and friends. I've never experience it before so it will surely make me homesick. Trust me, I will be crying myself to sleep for a couple of months. I am really confuse right now but if he does take up the offer, I as a wife have to be very supportive. I wonder what life would be when I'm in Miri, Sarawak??

For now, I'm just waiting for Fabian's decision and after that I'll make my decision :)

Have a nice week everyone.

Love,

Vira

Growing Old Together~~

2010-02-11T09:37:00.003+08:00

I was stuck in Jamm the other day and I saw these lovely couple holding hands while crossing the road. It was so sweet. It made me sing the song " I wanna grow old with you ". It really made my day as it is the sweetest thing I've seen so far this year. I then imagine the old version of myself and my husband, holding hands while crossing the road. I guess we might grow old physically but our love will always remain the same. I hope I'm still alive to experience a beautiful moment as these couple with my husband.

By the way, my diet program has been wonderful. I lost 0.5kg in 4 days. It's not that much but I'm happy with my achievement. I guess 2kg is too much for me to obtain in just 5 days. What I did was, morning I'll have my heavy breakfast then I drink Herbalife for lunch and for dinner I only eat PAMA before 7pm. We have to eat to burn fats. Maybe if I only take breakfast and drink Herbalife for lunch and dinner I might lose 2kg in a week but no, I want to enjoy my food besides I live to eat hehe. That's my principle. Imagine I didn't take rice for 4 days and I still feel energetic because instead of rice I change it to mee hoon and kueh tiew plus I drink lots of water. For now my weight is 49.5kg's and I'm trying my best to go down to 46kg. I have 3.5kg left to go.

Wacha Say~~

2010-02-08T14:40:00.003+08:00

Sunday was full of fun. After sunday mass, hubby suddenly wanted to go to Gaya Street which really surprise me because he normally wont go there especially with this hot weather. There's so many people walking with sweaty hands which I feel disgusted. We enjoyed ourself playing with all the puppies and cats for sales. We also plan to buy fish for the house. After walking for about an hour and a half we walk to Suria Sabah where I had the most embarrassing moment of my life. Not going to elaborate it here because it's only between me and my husband *hahahaha* It was so embarrasing I don't think I can go to Suria Sabah anymore....erm...

By the way, Suria Sabah Foodcourt is now open at level 3. Wow, you can see the sea view from inside as well as you can sit outside for the lovely view. I haven't tasted any food yet but I heard and saw it was all HALAL so no porky2 I guess hehehehe.

And!!!

Just today we had our Annual Lunch at the same place every year. Ermm.. I hope they would change place next year because this year menu is totally not like any other previous years. It's getting boring :( but all in all, we had fun with our other collegues. There's only one dish I really like and that is the prawns hahaha.

We've been working together for almost 6 years. Look at my chubby face :( I hope this one week of dieting will do me good. I won't be taking rice for a whole week. My last rice was last night :P and I'm on herbalife diet. Come one I want to lose 2kg's this week. Is it possible??? I hope so too. I look like a whale ohh :(( That's so not good. Wish me luck with the 2kg's hehehe..

God Bless us All

Love,Vira

Happy Birthday B !!!

2010-02-04T08:49:00.003+08:00

I woke up late today. It seems as if I want to sleep more but then I realize that it's someone's special day today. I quickly get his cake, light up the candle and carry it to the room where he is still lay sleeping. I woke him with my not so good voice, singing a happy birthday song to him. He look up at me, looking confuse and drowsy maybe the effect of tequila shot he had for his pre-birthday celebration with his friends but still manage to blow his candle. He wanted to sleep more but I ask him to cut his cake and he did. Hooray!! I'm happy that I got to be the first one to wish him "A happy birthday" and got to celebrate his birthday. Mind you it all happen without us brushing our teeth or even shower first and still in our sleepy mode hahaha and Yes, he was late for work :P

This year there's no party or any kind of celebration so I let him celebrate his day with his friends and family. It's not everyday someone turns a year older. By the way, I didn't know Facebook share the same birthday as him so it's double the happiness, double the celebration.

So, here's 3 cheers for you hubby!!! The first Cheers if for your good health ; The second Cheers is for your Double Prosperity and Wealth and The Third Cheers is for you Happiness!!!!

" The best part of Everyday is that I got to share it with a husband like you "

Happy Birthday Hubby!!!!

With lots of love,

Your Wife Vira

Finally..... :)

2010-01-26T12:47:00.004+08:00

I've finally figure out the perfect birthday gift for hubby. It took me a month to think about getting him "IT" because it really cost me a fortune but what's important is that he's happy and when he's happy it will definitely makes me happy as well. There's no birthday party though since we're not financially stable yet, maybe next year :P By the way, the bad part is I still haven't figure out where to dine for his birthday. I don't want to go to the same place over and over again. What I need is a place where there's good food with reasonable price, plus great environment. Where can I find that place??? Any suggestion???

These pictures was taken during his 24th Birthday celebration last year..

Blow the candles B :)

Ate Betty with The Family

Mummy with the Girls.

I spend RM250 for all the cakes :P sedap!!!

Yeah, party always is fun but maybe next year then.....

May God Bless Us All.

Friendship, Love and Truth.

2010-01-21T13:15:00.004+08:00

It's truly a blessing to have what I have today;

a supportive parent, a caring brother, wonderful family members and mostly an understanding husband.

I don't normally say it out loud but I am truly blessed for having him around. He had been tremendously supportive of me since the day we'd become friends. Started of from a beautiful friendship to become a lifetime partner. Our days are never easy but we manage to pull it through and up to this day, we're still standing strong together. What we thought would not last, lasted till the day we said our vows. No matter how hard we climb the stairs to heaven, we never give up on each other. He's not just my husband, he's my best friend as well.

Blue Sky.

2010-01-19T15:00:00.004+08:00

Somehow, the sun had read my blog. It stop raining today and the sun is shinning brightly, proudly showing off its magical power. It does really put a smile on my gloomy face. The cold feeling still lingers in me but I'm happy that it didn't rain for I love to start my day looking up to a clear, beautiful and blue sky.

It made me say " I thank God for this wonderful day "

and somehow I'm still struggling for a miracle :) that little blessing that I've been craving so much. A little miracle of my own :)

God Bless Us All.

SHIT, It's Raining...

2010-01-18T15:49:00.003+08:00

Why have I not see the sun this couple of days? Where did it go / hide? Please come back to us because we really need you now. We need you sun to brighten our days. Please come out from your hiding place and play with us. Put back our smiles on our face and let us enjoy our day without any tears falling down from the skies. It's really been dark this couple of days which really make all of us sick. We really miss you so dearly.

Why have the clouds have been crying for days? Are you sad / unhappy? Please stop crying and let the sun shine for a couple of days. I don't mind the cold feeling but please stop raining for we need some sun to brighten our days. It's been gloomy since you started crying, and it really takes away our smile from our face.

It makes me say "Shit, It's Raining"

God Bless Us All

Reflection...

2010-01-12T08:55:00.002+08:00

My mum sent me an email as a reflection this morning and it really touched my heart and soul. It made me make a promise to God and myself to attend MASS every week. Maybe, it's time to repent...

A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was 'too crowded.'

'I can't go to Sunday School,' she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.

Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had befriended their daughter to handle the final arrangements.

As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.

Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting, which read: 'This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School.'

For two years she had saved for this offering of love. When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion.

He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building.

But the story does not end there...

A newspaper learned of the story and published It. It was read by a wealthy realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents.

Church members made large donations. Checks came from far and wide.Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250, 000.00--a huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid large dividends..

When you are in the city of Philadelphia , look up Temple Baptist Church , with a seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University , where thousands of students are educated.

Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russell H. Conwell, author of the book, 'Acres of Diamonds'.

This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.

I guess mum know's best how to make their children realize something good without nagging at them :D

God Bless Us All

Vira

Nokia X3 ~ Classic & Simple

2010-01-08T20:53:00.004+08:00

I decided to sell of my ACER laptop to my workmate for only RM1,200.00. So, now we only have one compaq laptop and a desktop :) I seldom used my laptop since hubby bougth a new desktop so instead of keeping it without in use I asked my workmate if she want to buy it for 10 months installment. It's still in good condition and look brand new except it have to be upgrade. So, goodbye ACER laptop, I'll surely miss you :D

Anyway, mum surprise me by buying me a handphone. I was shocked but happy as well he he. It's not a 3g phone, iphone or any advance/technology handset but I was still happy to received it. It's a Nokia X3-00 model. I like it because it's simple and easy to use. I'm not really a hi-tech lady he he.

Happy Weekend Everyone.

First Plan for Year 2010...

2010-01-06T10:55:00.006+08:00

Hubby's 25th Birthday is coming up. It's exactly a month away and I want to do something special for him. A home cook meal would be nice but I cook dinner for him all the time so its not that special ha ha ha.

This was taken in year 2008. He did celebrated his 24th Birthday last year with friends and family but the picture's are in my laptop. This year I want it to be different :P Maybe just celebrate just the two of us. That would be romantic right :) A candlelight dinner perhaps ha ha ha. That's too much I think :P Or maybe a night stay at a hotel ha ha..wasting money!!

If I could do a birthday party for him I would but it means MONEY! I am a bit stingy at the moment because I am focusing on my traveling expenses to Jakarta this September so I don't want to waste a lot of money for a party. My saving have to pile up starting this month. I want to be ready for any consequences all the time and not be broke when I need money the most. Maybe a nice simple dinner with his family and my parents would be just nice to make him happy plus a big present :P But the question is which restaurant would be the best to indulge our self. I have a month to think and call each restaurant ha ha ha.

P/S God if you're reading my blog, please listen to our daily prayers. A bundle of joy of our own...

God Bless Everyone

Love,

Vira

Happy New Year 2010

2010-01-02T14:30:00.003+08:00

Happy New Year 2010 everyone. So, how was everyone's New Year Celebration? Mine was awesome. It was the best New Year Celebration I've had since I could remember. We also had a surprise birthday celebration for Gayle he he he. Since, I'm cameraless I didn't take any pictures that night :( We dance, we karaoke, we laugh, we played games, we ate like there's no tomorrow and mostly we enjoy each other companion. We had fireworks as well and our own party packs he he he. We toast when the clock strikes 12am. I really enjoy myself. We partied since Christmas till the New Year, what more can we ask for :) Today is my last day of holiday, Monday will be going back to work :( A week of holiday surely is never enough, right? But life must go on and its back to reality :D

Ethel and Papamuda will be flying back to KL tomorrow :( How time flies, too quick I tell you. The next thing we know we'll be celebrating Christmas 2010 and New Year 2011 already ha ha ha. The next occassion we are looking forward for is Chinese New Year. It's the year of TIGER!!! ROAR!! Everyone will be back home once again except for Rofina & Family with Alfie :( but still Muni will be home :D I can't wait to see the lion dance which we have every year. Oh, I really am excited for occassions nowadays. Maybe because I miss all the family gatherings. Who doesn't? Even my parents missed it a lot :)

Uhh, before I forget we went to Kawang the other day. I've never know that place existed until Gayle told me. Wow, it was amazing!! Love the place very much. I slipped, fell into the water and lost my bracelet but it was worthy ha ha ha cause I had fun the other day. I thought I hurt my butt but NO, I was saved by the water ha ha. I am thankful I didn't hit the rocks, if I do oh my gawd I'll be bleeding all the way ha ha ha. I was so hyper, I act as if I've just been release from the zoo ha ha ha. Maybe its because I'm just so happy being with my cousins and my brother. It has been too long since our last bonding session. We should do it again okay!! I promise I'll behave next time :P Maybe next time we should do a trip to Labuan ha ha. It's been a while since we visited Elden. I really miss him :D

Lastly, I just want to wish Happy 28th Anniversary to Mr & Mrs. Alfwold Manggala and Mr & Mrs. Arcadius Manggala. Love you all to bits *hugs*

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Love,
Vira

Good bye 2009 and Welcome 2010.

2009-12-30T22:32:00.003+08:00

2009 had been awesome. I wouldn't say it was always good but still I love it. I've always believe that each year have its own speciality. What's important is that each year, I'm more happier :) I'd say that the more I'm getting older the merrier I am. With all the ups and downs it really make me appreciate whats I have and wouldn't ask anything more . I'm really enjoying every minute of my life right now. I learned a lot this year and hoping to learn more next year :) People keep on popping question to me "what's your resoulution?", well for once in my life I have none. I just think that making one means making a commitment to something you wouldn't know whether you'll achieved it or not. I just go with the flow, wait and see what will happen.

What did really happen in year 2009?

Well, I got married to my darling he he he. I got a raise in my salary and I got promoted from General Clerk to Admin Assistant after 5 years working there :P but still I'm happy!! I had fun with my sisters :D I curled my hair but had straigten it back :P and finally we had Christmas gathering which I miss very much!! And tomorrow we'll be celebrating the New Year as well!! How wonderful is that.....2009 has really been such a good year for me. So, I'm hoping that 2010 will be a good one as well for me and if possible a much better year he he he.

Good Night Everyone.

Love,
Vira

Pulau Manukan Adventure

2009-12-23T10:22:00.010+08:00

Pulau Manukan is a very beautiful place for snokeling, sky diving, relax your mind, picnic or BBQ, diving and lots of water sports activities. Since, that's going to be my last visit to any Island in the whole wide world :P (I'm sooooo afraid of water okay :P) I just post some photo's of my trip to the only island I've been too in my 25 years in Sabah :P

Us at Jesselton Point on the Speed boat.

Our Bedroom with two queen size bed :)

Have a nice day everyone.

Anger wont make a difference :)

2009-12-22T12:19:00.004+08:00

" I don't know why but I'm not angry after looking at it, maybe because I am so fed up of being angry I really don't have any feelings toward anything anymore ha ha ha. Isn't that just perfect?? I'm happier and I feel that I'm free. At last, I finally get everything out from my chest. Now, I just want to enjoy Christmas and New Year with my family and love ones "

So, tonight I and my hubby will be going to the mall to do our last minute Christmas shopping since our salary is finally out ha ha. I went to Karamunsing and City Mall alone last night to do some present hunting for hub's nieces and nephews while hubby is out for Christmas dinner with his workmate cum birthday celebration. As I walk and enter almost every shop, I find that shopping alone is better because you stay focus on what you're doing. I keep on looking at the Christmas list, afraid that I forgot / miss someone. For now, I've done 80% of what's in the list and my ankle hurts a lot but it was fun :D Tonight Hubby will continue hunting for the 20% left for his nieces and nephews. Wow, having so many munckins really is tiring ha ha.

As for me, tonight I'll shop for my family members...

Here's my Christmas list;

1) Mum

2) Papa

3) Alfie

4) Fabian

5) Ate Pink :)

6) Artistic Nana :P

7) Cosmo bro Jude :D

So, tonights is the night he he he.....

They are the most I'm close with and without them I wont be who I am today :) A good daughter to my parents, a dedicated sister to my brother, a loving wife to my hubby and a happy / joyous cousin to my cousins. I also will find something for my nieces and nephews. I love them dearly. They never fail to put a smile on my face. I can't wait for their performance this saturday at my house :)

Have a nice day everyone.

Love,

In God's Hands.

2009-12-21T08:40:00.002+08:00

"Its so hard for me to understand what did went wrong. All of a sudden I just couldn't bare it anymore but in my heart I don't want to give up. I just leave it in God's hands. For whatever going to happen in the near future I'll take one step at a time and be ready for it. "

It's almost Christmas, the countdown is over. It's exactly 4 days away and I'm still left clueless what to buy for everyone. I hope tomorrow I'll figure it out because tomorrow we're going shopping :) By the way, I just got back from Pulau Manukan and I dont' really fancy staying there even thou it was a beautiful place because first off it was scary. There's no one there after 6pm. Everyone had gone back to KK except for the staff. Secondly, I and hubby don't really enjoy snokelling, scuba diving and so off so we were mostly walking around the beach, go swim by the swimming pool and just stay in our double deluxe cottage. Lastly the most I'm afraid was getting into the jetboat. I am so afraid I kept on holding my hubby. All I think about it reaching land. No deep sea water for me anymore. That's going to be my first and last ride to an island. I rather be on safe land!!! ha ha ha ha.

I'm off to see a doctor soon. I'm still having my cold and flu. I need to be healthy during Christmas day.

Have a nice week everyone.

Love,
Vira

Typical Monday

2009-12-14T20:53:00.003+08:00

I've come to realize that I'm putting so much weight within these 2 months plus. It's not because of my eating habit but of the medication. I dont' really eat that much so, I blame it on the medication. I look so plum I hate taking pictures. I look like a balloon :P and I'm not pregnant yet so if anyone saw me anywhere its' not baby in my tummy but FATS!! Ha ha ha. Anyways, I finally decided not to take any Christmas leave this year :( Besides, hubby will be going to Taiwan till the new year so there's no need to take any leave :) and I actually finish my annual leave so rather than having unpaid leave I rather don't take leave at all :P

I have so much to write but I can't seem to type it all here.

It's just a Typical Monday..........

Love,

Mum's 50th Birthday..

2009-12-04T14:43:00.000+08:00

Mum celebrated her 50th Birthday Celebration last night @ Puteri Kg.Nelayan, Papa’s favourite Seafood Restaurant ha ha. I invited her sisters and we had fun talking, more talking, laughing, more laughing, eating, more eating till we all bloat and we also sing the karaoke he he he but the system was so damn “BURUK”. My mum really enjoyed herself with her sister’s last night and they plan to go to K-BOX ;-P The food was magnificent and mind you I order more than enough. We had Uncle Biscuit Black forest cake which I recommend to everyone. If you’re having a nice quiet birthday celebration its best to buy a cake in Uncle Biscuit because of the quantity and the size of the cake. It’s just nice for 10 to 15 people rather than waste money buying a big cake for a small size party. It’s only RM30 and I tell you the durian, yam and mango cake is very yummy. Mum love her presents too :-) All her sisters gave her ang pau’s, papa gave her a “GUESS PERFUME” and as for I and hubby we gave her an ear ring which she wore that night. I wonder how I would look like when I turn 50 years old ha ha ha ha. Mum still looks like she’s in her 30’s :-D

Have a great Friday everyone...

Love,

Vira

24 days till Christmas :)

2009-12-01T23:00:00.003+08:00

It's December and Christmas is just around the corner; to be exact its 24 more days to go :) Sadly speaking I had to take unpaid leave since I don't have anymore yearly leave. It had all been used up for my wedding day :( BUT no worries, I'm still happy :P and definitely will take Christmas leave. Since hubby wont be around until the new year I decided not to take a week off from work. He'll be going to Taiwan with his workmates from the 27th till the new year :( Isn't that just great?? I wish my company have incentive trip like them. That would be fun :P I can dream about it ha ha ha ha.

Anyway, I've put up the Christmas tree!! I really am excited for the festive season but somehow I feel empty inside. I got this feeling that I'm losing something. Oh well, its just a feeling nothing to be worried about :D Oh I almost forgot, I've cut my hair. It's now well, its' short. I can't tie it up ha ha but I'm loving it :) I might go straightening when I get my November salary ;p Or many I just leave my messy hair be. We'll see how it goes. Ah!! Mum's 50th Birthday is this Thursday and I've book a table for 10 at Kg. Nelayan. Mum only invited her siblings and she's hinting Papa that she wants a birthday cake and a present too :P Uh!! So 'lah' demanding ha ha ha ha. Since Christmas is coming soon, I might not buy her a birthday gift. I'll only get her a nice birthday card. I used to make my own version of birthday cards when I was little but now since I'm all grown up I'm a bit lazy ;p Will be finding that nice card tomorrow after work.....

Oh, and be careful everyone. I heard and read that thief nowadays are very smart. Last Saturday, two Philippino guys came to my house asking whether they can check our Gas Head but thank god our Maid is a smart person. She didn't allow them to come in the house and my dog was barking like hell they got scared. Seriously I'm really afraid because my house was broken into by thief twice. I don't want it to happen again. When I heard about it I recall about my dream a few months back. It seems as if its telling me something. I am being careful nowadays but still I'm really scared. Everytime my dog barks I shivers because my mind would always think of something bad is about to happen. I really don't want it too happen again.....

God bless all of us and protect us from any harm and danger.....Amen !!

New Moon VS Ninja Assassin

2009-11-28T10:47:00.002+08:00

I choose Ninja Assassin over New Moon because the story line is more realistic and interesting. I was annoyed with all the girls screaming like hell every time Edward and Jacob came on screen. I was like “Ermm…what was the fuss all about?” Robert Pattison is a good looking guy but he’s too WHITE in the movie which really freaks me out because its like I’m seeing a ghost but that’s how everyone portray a vampire but OMG Jacobs new super hot body is really sexy. I didn’t scream or gasp like the other screaming girls but I can’t take my eyes of his “Oh My Gucci Hot Body” ha ha ha I keep on telling my hubby “Nice oh kan the body” and he’ll look at me and say “Yeah, I know I’m fat” ha ha ha ha. If you ask me to choose between a good looking skinny vampire and a super hot body werewolf, I’ll definitely choose the super hot body werewolf ha ha ha ha. The fact that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison acting style seem so unreal, I can’t feel the love between them in the movie. On thing about me, I can cry when I feel something about the movie and New Moon shows no emotions at all. BORING!!!! It was suppose to be a love story…….If the cartoon ‘Astro Boy’ can make me cry why New Moon has no effect on me? :p

So, I’m so not looking forward to Eclipse…..I guess that’s the end of me watching the Twilight saga :)

God Bless.

"New Moon"

2009-11-25T20:13:00.003+08:00

" Forgetting something so hurtful is so damn hard. I even dream about it, for goodness sake it's such a nightmare. I wouldn't want the same dream haunt me all over again so the conclusion is that I forget about it but it is so damn hard. The good news is hubby is making me happy and it really make me not think about it so much :) That's what husbands are for, cheering us up when we're so F**cked up "

And......

I'm so lucky to have HIM as my husband. He drove all the way from KK which is so damn jammed to 1Borneo just to book tickets to the twilight saga "New Moon". Yeah, we're going to watch it tomorrow!!!! Yippeeeee.......

Okay, I'm sick so I need to rest.

Goodnight Everyone

God Bless.

Jealousy Bites....!!

2009-11-19T15:30:00.002+08:00

Sadly speaking my Christmas mood vanished into thin air because of one reason BUT I know that I’m doing okay. Eventually I’ll get over it in a week or two. It’s basically normal to feel sensitive over things like this even thou its such a small matter but seriously when your husband is going away during the holidays you’ll definitely feel the same as what I’m feeling right now. So, as a punishment he has to shop for me while he’s in the foreign land. Don’t really know where the company are going but definitely a foreign country which I may not afford to go at the moment. It’s such an opportunity the company sponsor all of them for an incentive trip after successfully reached their yearly sales target but why do they need to travel during the holiday season, I mean even so it’s after Christmas still I can’t celebrate New Year with him. Oh well, OBVIOUSLY I’m jealous that I’m not being able to go to the trip with him *wink wink* but doesn’t mean I need to sulk over it right??? Ha Ha Ha Ha. Seriously I need to get over it “PRONTO!!!” But seriously make sure you buy something for me and I mean it!!! As long there’s something that will put a smile on my “Oh sooooo Weeevil Face” eh eh eh…..

God Bless...

I was sadden to know that we had to cancel our plan to travel because of the high rate BUT I was happy and overwhelmed when I received an email from Airasia offering RM0 fare rate. So, I browse....browse some more....and finally I got the RM0 rate ha ha. Instead of going with our plan to travel on MAY 2010, I decided to travel on SEPTEMBER 2010 in conjuction with our 1st year wedding anniversary. So, yeah we've booked our tickets to Jakarta!!! OMG, it means our plan is ongoing...uhhh, I'm so excited!!! ;P At first we plan to go to Jakarta but then decided to go to Bangkok but now we're sticking to our original plan that is Jakarta and Bandung.

I got the cheapest flight RM146 (return tickets for two person) including tax, luggage and insurance. Cheap!! Cheap!! Cheap!! Now, I'm trying to book our hotel but I guess its a bit too early so I'll wait till next year January 2010 :D

Now, the question is "Should we go on tour / by our own??? "

God Bless

Without any BUT....

2009-11-10T11:42:00.005+08:00

Recently, I’ve stated in my Facebook status that I’m planning for a vacation but due to some circumstances I have to say that the plan is definitely cancel. Well, we can plan but we definitely never know whether it will be on or not but I’m okay with it because I wasn’t expecting anything big anyway. I never expect anything actually maybe because I know it will never happen ha ha ha (funny ain’t it??) and for the first time there’s no BUT in this matter. So, yeah the plan is definitely cancel WITHOUT any BUT to add in the sentence :)

Guess where's this place???

A dream place which will always remains a dream.....

God Bless...

What's In The Mail??

2009-11-05T10:56:00.006+08:00

…Yes my Manchester United Jersey that I’ve bought from http://www.lelong.com.my/ has finally arrived yesterday….Happy Happy Happy!!!

And today, a few minutes ago hubby’s jersey (same colour and same design) arrived :) It’s a Grade AAA quality and it’s ALMOST 99% original. It’s cheaper than the one’s in Nike Shop and since I cannot afford the original one’s might as well buy some place where I can afford and still be satisfied :)

God Bless...
